“…A recent study by Bansal et al 15 using the national inpatient sample (NIS) database revealed that the survival rate of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the pandemic decreased significantly compared to before the pandemic, with rates of 13% and 37%, respectively. The study also found that there was a lower utilization of CPR and mechanical ventilation among COVID-19 patients, indicating that the adoption of universal DNR or discouragement of resuscitation by healthcare systems due to futility beliefs had a significant impact on patients.…”
“…Few studies compared outcomes in pre-pandemic and COVID-19 IHCA populations and found worse outcomes in COVID-19 IHCA. [14] , [15] We hypothesized that outcomes for IHCA occurring in the ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic would be similar to those for IHCA in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) during the pre-pandemic period.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
